Description

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in reforesting UMRS forest canopy openings occupied by invasive species. Specifically, this study will address the following questions: 1) Can artificial reforestation be used as a technique to close canopy gaps and reduce the abundance of invasive species such as reed canarygrass, Johnsongrass, and Japanese hops? 2) What is the most cost-effective planting density to achieve expedient canopy closure with minimal maintenance requirements? 3) Can successful reforestation be attained without the use of standard management maintenance techniques (mowing, herbicide application, etc¿)? 4) Can early successional species be used to replace green ash following the establishment and spread of emerald ash borer throughout the UMRS floodplain?
